The Time has come to Recognize What The American Government Really Is

Just because the United States is larger and richer doesn't make its policies more intelligent or correct. Any open-minded student of Modern History can easily list a long variety of American mistakes.

It wasn't all that long ago that the American governmental "experts" insisted that Israel had fabricated anti-Syrian news about chemical weapons. Obama's Government is still having trouble keeping up with Israeli discoveries and Intelligence data.

United States Secretary of State John Kerry is one of the most antagonistic, ignorant and anti-Israel American officials we've yet to suffer. Kerry's threats of Arab terror violence unless we kowtow to American pressure shows which side of the fence he is on. It's not Israel's for sure, and he's not on the fence as a neutral mediator.

US Secretary of State John Kerry, using the bully tactics of his boss Barack Obama,warned Israel that if Israeli-Palestinian talks break down, there might be a third intifada. Kerry’s one-sided warning was even more astounding when this fact is thrown in the mix: two days before he shot off his mouth, a poll conducted by the Arab World For Research & Development showed that only 29% of West Bank and Gaza Palestinians would be in favor of a third intifada, even though 60% believe it could happen.What this despicable action by Kerry means is that Kerry has now tacitly given a green light for Palestinian terrorists to wage a third intifada against Israel. The Palestinians don’t want one, but the U.S. is now saying that they have justification because of Israel’s intransigence.

Reports from those who have heard his briefings aren't any better.

“It was fairly anti-Israeli,” Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) said to reporters after the briefing. “I was supposed to disbelieve everything the Israelis had just told me, and I think the Israelis probably have a pretty good intelligence service.” He said the Israelis had told him that the “total changes proposed set back the program by 24 days.” A Senate aide told BuzzFeed that during the meeting, “every time anybody would say anything about ‘what would the Israelis say,’ they’d get cut off and Kerry would say, ‘You have to ignore what they’re telling you, stop listening to the Israelis on this.’” “They had no details,” the aide said. “They had no ability to verify anything, to describe anything, to answer basic questions.” Republicans and Democrats alike have questioned the sagacity of removing sanctions at this point in the negotiations, rather than ratcheting them up now, and then dialing them back down if an acceptable deal is reached.Read more at: http://www.jewishpress.com/news/senators-appalled-by-kerrys-anti-israel-remarks-in-iran-briefing/2013/11/14/

It's time for Israel to listen and take seriously that we do not have true allies in the American Government's top echelons. The United States, including its President Obama, Vice President Biden and Secretary of State Kerry, does not behave like a true, respectful ally of Israel. It's time for us in Israel to recognize that fact and go it "alone." In actuality, we won't truly be alone. We will again benefit from G-d's miracles and protection.

This is the basic American State Dept policy, which is a comfortable fit for Obama and crew. In terms of grass roots, Americans on the whole like Israel, but that does't make policy, just campaign promises.
